Health and Politics


If we earnestly want to protect our body and its physiology, we do all we can to prevent infection. We instinctively avoid allowing entry of bad bacteria and strengthen our body's immunity and natural defences.

We become disciplined ourselves to ensure the best in what we eat, how we keep fit and the way to practise what we believe in. 

Where bad bacteria gets one part of our body to be infested, we do what we can early to rid the cause of the problem. 

We take steps to contain the situation. We do not continue to carry on our previous policy in how we behave, in effectively managing the risks of getting infected again.

We look at the facts, we do not chatter away but immediately take action to protect what is all right with us and remove the source of what is affecting our overall health. 

We do not give excuses to ourselves. We are conscious of the medicines we take, the side effects and are serious in building up a database of our health treatment and related checks. 

We seek as much information to help ourselves foremost and not facilitate the agendas of others which do not help maintain or nurture our interests.

We maintain a healthy and balanced mindset to acknowledge and appreciate about what is still right about our body and health. We become determined to ensure our integrity and inner happiness is not further infringed upon. 

We do not underestimate the intents of and damage from bad bacteria or viruses. Negative bacteria will attack the weakest point in our body's process chain. 

We seriously carry out checks and controls to ensure maximum prevention and minimise the possibility of such bad bacteria creating havoc to our bodies ever again. 

We first spend whatever money we have to defend ourselves and make us stronger, instead of anything else. 

We ensure the bad bacteria remains with their ilk and have no means to ever attack our body again. 

We use our utmost intelligence to detect, prevent and remove the source of our body's ill health. 

We do not react only after each episode of symptoms experienced. 

Now just replace the word "body" with your own "country". Or "state" and "region". Even your "community", "neighbourhood" and "family".

The interesting part is your own personal, community and political leader's definition of "bad bacteria".

Vietnam - Some Souvenirs

Image
Vietnam is a prime exporter of agricultural products, like rice, rubber,coffee and pepper, but to individual visitors, what comes across remarkably are lacquered products , embroidery, pottery, silk fabrics, weaved craft, stone carvings, bamboo and rattan articles, ceramic, wooden contraptions and paintings.  This is a result of long established cultural traditions and a developing economy.  The majority of the current population is under 30 years old, laden with the enthusiasm, agility and promise of youth.  The centre of handicraft is still central Vietnam, with the hub around Hue and Hoi An. You can see many water colours offered by local artists in shops, markets and pavement stalls.  I was more fascinated by origami-like paper cuts which you can come across being sold by vendors all over the place.  Best of all are the hang lanterns, available in all sizes, which are made from varying qualities of Vietnamese silk fabric, the best of which are found in Hoi An.   Th

Aunty Gaik Lian's - Straits Chinese, Georgetown, Penang

Image
A simple but appetising egg omelette as starters. Gulai Ikan Tumis or sour and spicy fish curry. The previous long standing branch of jewellers B.P De Silva, almost at the corner of Bishop and Beach streets in the old quarter of Georgetown, has a few months ago been transformed into a hub of Straits Chinese cuisine. Straddling two shop lots, located in an evening quiet location but near to the banking district on  business days, Aunty Gaik Lian's provides a refreshing change to the Nyonya food landscape on Penang island.  I have always found that the best Straits Chinese food is found in homes in Penang, like what my Mum dishes out, and it has been exasperating to be really satisfied with commercial outlets in this cuisine.  The Penang variation of such Peranakan food tends to be more influenced by ingredients and cooking styles from Thailand and the Malayan peninsular , when compared to the Malacca version (with more of stronger Indonesian influences and the use of the

85 Degrees Bakery Cafe Hurstville NSW

Image
There are several outlets of this bakery cafe for several years now in Australia.  Did they coem from the USA? Each franchised outlet is in a busy area, often in suburbs so-called by a diverse Asian demographic.   The one in Hurstville is rather roomy and lots of baked stuff on its shelves.   The base of Sydney operations is in Chester Hill, a suburb south-west of the Sydney city centre. Some of the cake creations would be viewed as rather leaning on the East Asian dimension  - Strawberry Angel (with chocolate base and top) and Mango Cheese ( with yoghurt).   However, to counter this perspective, there are also Death by Chocolate, US Cheesecake, Coffee Brulee and Blueberry Marble options.     The pastries are definitely filled with ingredients more suited to perhaps  Anime loving fans and non-mainstream cultures - for example, garlic, pork, tuna, green tea, red bean, shallots, pork floss, coconut, Hokkaido butter cream and Boroh or pineapple buns.    Sung
